Desperately need to sell

This has been a crazy summer. 2 years ago I was married and living in my dream house. 1 year ago I was divorced, and moved back in with my parents. A month after I moved into my parents I decided to start looking at houses. ( First mistake). I found a house, spent alot of money and moved in. The house has been nothing but a nightmare. I lost my job, and took a crappy job just to pay the mortgage. Back in May I did some work to the house and I decided to put the house up for sale and see what happens.

3 full price offers on day one. I couldn't believe it. My realtor is new, kinda a friend of mine, and I felt like we were accomplishing something.

Here we are today, the buyer couldn't get financing. I'm scared and nervous. Sometimes I feel my realtor cares other times I don't know what to think.

Here is my dilemma.

The people that own the house behind me, also own the house next to them. I was able to get into contact with them and they told me they can offer me cash for the house, and close quickly.

I am going to talk to them more tonight, but if all goes well, I decided this is what I want to do. I told them we don't need to use realtors , and Aldo gave them a little lower price, the house needs some work,and they know it. It would make it equal to what I would get if they I went through a realtor with, either way it's equal for me.

I was thinking of talking to my realtor and asking her to release the contract. I don't think she will be a jerk, but you never know. I just want to get this done. And this part of my life behind me.

Am I able to fire her, and sell house on my own? Should I ask her ? What should I do?

Thank you

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
